Field Service Site Lead

At Jered, a PAR Systems Company and leader in engineered solutions for naval and maritime systems, our Field Service team plays a critical role in supporting customers through technical expertise, reliable service, and effective project execution. We are looking for an experienced Field Service Site Lead who brings strong technical capabilities, hands-on leadership, and the ability to coordinate complex field service activities while maintaining exceptional customer relationships.

In this role, you'll serve as Jered's primary on-site Field Service representative in Pascagoula, Mississippi, primarily supporting Huntington Ingalls Industries (Ingalls), with additional coverage throughout Alabama and other Gulf Coast shipyards. You'll provide hands-on technical support, coordinate field activities, and serve as a key connection between customers, Field Service Engineers, Technicians, Engineering, and Field Service Operations leadership. This remote, field-based position combines technical execution, customer coordination, and site leadership to ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with Jered's quality and technical standards.

As a Field Service Site Lead, you'll spend most of your time coordinating on-site field service activities, providing technical guidance, supporting troubleshooting and repairs, and maintaining strong communication between customers and internal teams. You'll participate in customer planning, production, technical, testing coordination, and project status meetings while maintaining visibility of project priorities, technical concerns, material requirements, and schedule risks.

You'll also mentor less-experienced personnel, coordinate daily field activities, and support accurate reporting and documentation.

Success in this role means maintaining customer confidence, identifying and escalating technical or quality concerns before they impact project execution, and ensuring field activities remain aligned with customer requirements and company standards. You'll balance customer priorities with technical integrity, promote accountability across the field team, and support consistent communication with Field Service Operations and Engineering. Technical and personnel-management authority will remain with the appropriate Engineering and Field Service management teams.
